...The eagle looked at Itsuki as he looked back."A name, huh?"...

The two stared at each other as Itsuki began to ponder. Looking at his eyes, Itsuki suddenly had a vision.

It's not clear but he swore that he saw it. Focusing once more, the vision appeared once again as Itsuki closed her right eye.

 Now it's clear. He looked back at himself, no, the eagle was staring at him and he was just sharing his vision. Although he felt it was shocking, he remained calm when a name appeared in his head

'I'll name it'

"Seikyo's. It's as if when you see it, death itself is looking at you"

"Kyu"

It seemed like Seikyo agreed to his name as he jumped onto Itsuki's shoulder and rubbed his face towards it.

"really. I was thinking of something like Pablo Romani conti D'Souza Pierre Antonio Lafifi, Fifi said. Well, it seems like you're making sense, I guess"

Hearing that name Seikyo who was rubbing Itsuki's face suddenly lost her footing and fell to the ground. It was fortunate that Itsuki was quick to catch him, still young, despite growing fast. Itsuki's eyes twitched with Yoruichi's naming sense as he thought to himself

'Luckily, I never asked for advice'

Soi Fon who was secretly listening decided to make herself known

"The name is amazing Yoruichi-Sama, but it's a pity that the eagle likes his name"

"Good"

It seems that even Soi Fon feels that the sense of naming Yoruichi is still lacking. Itsuki, however, thinks differently

'He didn't support it'

Seeing the change, Itsuki didn't think too much about it and excused herself. Before he left, Yoruichi called out, saying,

"For your hard work, I'll let you use my hot springs"

He had already left so he had never seen a sneer hidden in the shadows. Itsuki quickly reached his office and closed his right eye after taking down Seikyo.

"Indeed, we can share a vision, right?"

"Kyeo"

Giving a nod, Seikyo looked satisfied as he crossed his wings. Itsuki did not care as he told her to look in a different direction and check to see if there was a limit. He could not fly now so Itsuki had to personally place him in the distance and retreat by himself.

After trying it out a few times, there was no distance limit because Seikyo was as familiar to her. Further tests would be needed if the division of vision would be successful if Itsuki were in Seireitei and Seikyo in the human world, for example. Right now all he could think of was a hot spring bath and, in his excitement, it seemed like he had forgotten the antics of a captain during a visit to the hot spring.

After undressing, she relaxed in the hot spring while closing her eyes while a rare happy smile appeared on her face. Although, he seemed relaxed now, currently his mind was working at full capacity. He's still trying to get to Bankai. 

A small tear had appeared on the veil to Bankai and all he needed to do was tear it open completely and that was what he did.

Walking through him arrived at the top, but the problem was reversed. Strangely though it seems that everything in this world is upside down as the snow falls upward. 

Looking up, he saw the peak where Byakko and Ryurai lived but there was no presence of them.

Returning his gaze, a figure wearing a white yukata was in front of him. To achieve what Itsuki needs is to ignore all life, even his own life. 

This exact idea is also necessary to master Hiten Mitsurugi-ryu's final move correctly, which he uses to fight the black dragon.

Walking forward he tried to reach the figure that turned his back on Itsuki but no matter how hard or fast he ran, he was unable to reach that figure. Realizing that he was not ready, he became confused as to what to do. With a figure that did not turn around, he could not see how that person looked.

Suddenly, the figure began to swing the sword as if they were practicing. Surprisingly, it was Hiten mitsurugi-ryu. Although Itsuki saw his movements, he understood that the person had the same understanding of sword techniques as him. It continues until the last step, Hiten mitsurugi-ryu ogi, Amakakeru Ryu no Hirameki.

Looking at the speed of the attack, he realized that he was lacking, too lacking. He did not remember the exact details of the last step, and the manual was not very detailed. He realized that in order to achieve that mastery, he had to fight with his opponent. A strong desire surged in his heart as he tried to approach the figure but still failed to do so.

Suddenly, the figure slightly turned its head and Itsuki felt shudder. A connection of some sort. Focusing carefully, the connection came from their heads, more precisely, their eyes. What Itsuki encountered was a pair of familiar eyes. The same indifferent blue-pink eyes were what was there.

A bolt of lightning flashed across his mind as the figure turned around. He knows the guy. Suddenly, he was dragged out of his inner consciousness with a powerful pull. He has feelings, feelings that are hard to explain. He felt that in order to fight with that person he needed something, something less than him.

Waking up he finds himself in the same place, the only difference now is the intruder in front of him.

Yoruich.

In the form of a cat.

"Yo, you seem to have woken up?"

A strange masculine voice came out from the cat as he watched her swim from one side to the other. Seikyo let out a cry in the back while finding the familiar but unfamiliar Yoruichi at the same time.

The last part was left unsaid as Yoruichi glanced at Itsuki. Seikyo ran to the side of the pool before making some threatening moves towards Yoruichi.

Yoruichi grinned as he jumped out of the pond and walked towards Seikyo, with a predatory figure. Seikyo, slowly stepped back, but saw his father at the back. This gives the eagle sudden courage when it returns to threaten Yoruichi. This surprised Yoruichi because he never expected Seikyo to stand up like this.

Before he could think, Itsuki quickly grabbed him and started stroking him.

'Soft'

Yoruichi's fur was very soft and, though, he had petted it before he felt enough. Behind Itsuki, Seikyo was proud of his papa for having taken care of the huge evil creature. Giving off some cute cries she returns to play with Itsuki's hair scattered along the side of the hot spring.

Yoruichi was upset at Itsuki who suddenly grabbed him but could not hold back the caress.

"Him"

Suddenly a feminine voice came out from the cat as Itsuki stroked her. Itsuki continued to caress her even though she was trembling as a grin suddenly appeared on her face.

* Poof *

Smoke immediately covered Itsuki's vision as the soft fur disappeared from her grasp. Instead what replaces it is the feeling of soft skin. Confusion appeared on Itsuki's face as he could not see what was in front of him.

 With the smoke disappearing, he could finally see what he was touching as an all-too-familiar face appeared in front of him.

"W-what? K-captain?"

Seeing his hand touch Yoruichi's chest, Itsuki became confused. His eyes widened and his ears became red with a slight red hue on his face. Yoruichi who saw this version of Itsuki had one thought in his head

'Imut'

Expelling those thoughts from his head, a playful grin returned to his face, and,

"Hyaa, Itsuki-kun don't touch there"

Seeing where he touched, he quickly retracted his arm as he tried to maintain his composure, returning to his icy facade.

"W-what are you doing, captain?

"

Yoruichi did not reply as he carried his hands together and wrapped them around Itsuki's neck.

He inched closer to his face and soon, they looked into each other's eyes. Itsuki's breathing was stable but his heart was not. Looking at those eyes, something moved within him.

"As you can see?"

The same playful grin was plastered on his face as he remained silent.

"Kum"

Giving off a slight laugh, Yoruichi moved away from Itsuki and returned to his cat form.

* Poof *

"Hurry, finish your bath. I'm gonna take you somewhere"

Giving a nod, Itsuki also left the pool with Seikyo who was dazed with her. It seems that the heat has reached the bird. Steadying his heart, a wry smile appeared on his face as he recalled Yoruichi's character.

'He was like that in the anime. I need to sort out my memories of the show first just in case another situation happens due to my negligence'

While Itsuki was getting ready, Yoruichi had returned to his human form and put on his captain's clothes. He stood there waiting with his hands near his chest

'Almost…'

"Yo, Itsuki, take your time, right?!"

Itsuki remained silent as she took Seikyo from her head and kept it in her arms.

'He's back to his normal self'

Yoruichi did not wait for Itsuki's reply and continued.

"Follow me, don't get lost"

With this he dodged with Itsuki following. Along the way he sees Itsuki staying close to him and he increases his speed. Itsuki was still following until he used his maximum speed and Itsuki started to fall behind. Looking around he found his destination and landed outside the manor.

Itsuki who came a little slower than him and looked at the plaque engraved beside him.
